  • Gold Creek Habitat Memo
    Stream & Riparian P.O. Box 15609 Resource Management Seattle, WA 98115 November 5, 2013 Kittitas Conservation Trust 205 Alaska Ave Roslyn, WA 98941-0428 Attention: Mitch Long, Project Manager David Gerth, Executive Director Subject: Gold Creek Habitat Assessment Memo PROJECT BACKGROUND The Kittitas Conservation Trust (KCT) has identified the lower 6.8 miles (mi) of Gold Creek above Keechelus Lake near Snoqualmie Pass as a candidate location for habitat restoration. The primary objectives of the Gold Creek Restoration Project (Project) are to restore perennial flow through the lower 6.8 mi of Gold Creek, and improve instream habitat for threatened Gold Creek Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus). The hydrologic, hydraulic, and geomorphic conditions within the project reach will be assessed to determine the causal mechanisms contributing to seasonal dewatering, and the associated impacts to Gold Creek Bull Trout. These findings will be used to develop conceptual designs that meet the primary objectives of the Project by restoring natural geomorphic processes. Existing information relevant to the Project has been reviewed and compiled to guide the assessments and conceptual design development. This information has been synthesized to describe the existing knowledge base related to the Project, and to identify key data gaps that need to be resolved to meet the objectives of the Project (NSD 2013). This technical memo describes the current hydrologic and hydraulic conditions within the Project reach, and how they contribute to seasonal dewatering in Gold Creek. PROJECT REACH Gold Creek drains a 14.3 mi2 (9,122 acre) watershed in the Cascade Mountain range, flowing for approximately 8 miles before entering Keechelus Lake near Interstate 90 (Craig 1997, Wissmar & Craig 2004, USFS 1998).

  • Sahalie Historical Note #7: the Snoqualmie Pass Ski Lodges
    Sahalie Historical Note #7: The Snoqualmie Pass Ski Lodges The history of club lodges at Snoqualmie Pass begins in 1914 and expands through the 1920s and 1930s, when enthusiasm for winter recreation first began to take off in the Northwest. The earliest general news article that describes the various accommodations at the Pass dates from 1933.1 It describes the Kendall Peak Lodge “built by a group of Seattleites” and the College Club’s lodge above Lake Keechelus, called either Mountain Goat Lodge or Roaring Creek Lodge; the article also notes a lodge run by the Helen Bush School for Girls. All have since disappeared, to my knowledge. (If you know differently, or can provide background, speak up.) Newspapers around 1940 also mention a Sno‐Owl Ski Club with a cabin at the Pass, but I can’t find anything more about it. Another good summary article of ski clubs in the area was published in late 1944.2 Enos Bradner noted that, “ Skiers who reside in the vicinity of Seattle have spread out before them as varied and as exciting a ski terrain in the Cascades and the Olympics as will be found anywhere in the United States….” The main anchors over the years at Snoqualmie Pass include the Mountaineers, Seattle Ski Club, Sahalie, Washington Alpine and, more recently, Berghaus. Here is a quick snapshot with some history for each. The Mountaineers. This venerable organization (founded in 1906) is the oldest club to have had a lodge in the Snoqualmie Pass area. The Mountaineers built its first lodge just west of the summit above Rockdale in 1914.

The Commission will consider adoption of land classifications and a long-term boundary for the portion of the Iron Horse State Park Trail extending from Lind east to the community of Malden including a long- term boundary that extends from Lind west to the Columbia River and the Beverly Bridge. SUPPORTING INFORMATION Appendix 1: Iron Horse State Park Trail Location and Trail Management Map Appendix 2: Descriptions of Land Classification, Conditional Uses, and Long-Term Boundary Appendix 3: Land Classification and Long-Term Boundary Map Appendix 4: Iron Horse State Park Trail Management Recommendations Appendix 5: Real Estate Plan Appendix 6: Capital Budget Request Appendix 7: Operating Budget Request SIGNIFICANT BACKGROUND INFORMATION Initial acquisition of Iron Horse State Park Trail by the State of Washington occurred in 1981. While supported by many, the sale of the former rail line was controversial for adjacent property owners, some of whom felt that the rail line should have reverted back to adjacent land owners. This concern, first expressed at initial purchase of the trail, continues to influence the planning process today.

  • Recreation Reports Are Printed Every Other Week. February 17, 2016
    Editor’s Note: Recreation Reports are printed every other week. February 17, 2016 Recent rain storms and warmer afternoon temperatures have caused snow at lower elevations and in valley bottoms to melt. There is still a lot of snow in the woods, but very low elevation areas are quickly melting out with bare ground, ditch lines, stumps, downed logs and other hidden obstacles rapidly emerging from the snow. Along with the snow melt comes higher water levels in local rivers, creeks and streams especially in the afternoon. A stream that is easily crossed in the early morning hours may become impassable later in the day when temperatures accelerate snow melt. Also, snow bridges over waterways may not be sturdy enough to carry the weight of a person or snow machine; always test these areas before using them. Check current weather and avalanche forecasts before venturing out; go to www.nwac.us for current avalanche conditions. As temperatures increase, snow grooming operations may be sporadic on snowmobile and cross- country ski routes. It is not uncommon for ice to build up overnight and then melt off a bit during the day. Be sure to park in a manner so that your vehicle doesn’t sink in the melting snow and then freeze in place as temperatures drop in the evening. Other signs of spring-like conditions seen in the forest and along local rivers is the abundance of birds migrating back to the area. Chickadees, juncos, finches, sparrows, geese, ducks, and swans are just a few of the birds seen locally.
